Yes, thanks. I can imagine it's worth the optimization for
web-frontends, where showing file sizes simply is common practice.

However, I see no need for this "optimization" on my development
machines. And given that monotone already is slow, I'm somewhat
concerned about its impacts on performance. Can it be turned off?
